Managing S3 access keys

An S3 user is created with one access key pair: an access key and a secret key. It is recommended to periodically delete old access key pairs and generate new ones. Enabling and disabling access keys allows or prohibits access to user data using these keys. When you delete an access key, it cannot be retrieved.

Limitations

  • An S3 user can have up to two key pairs.
  • The last access key pair cannot be deleted.

  1. Open the Storage services > S3 > Users screen, and then select a user.
  2. On the user right pane, browse the S3 access keys section:

    1. To copy an access key ID, click the copy icon next to the key.
    2. To copy a secret access key, click the ellipsis icon next to the key, and then click Copy secret access key.
